Topic | Pros and cons of teaching English in Japan |
Glob 11/19/23 4:24:07 AM #28 | kage_53 posted... Teaching English is basically a stepping stone for other ventures unless you are really passionate about being a teacher. Yeah, in many places in Asia, its a way to get your foot in the door. However, many places have slim pickings for foreigners if you dont want to teach and youre never going to make great money in teaching purely from the TEFL stuff. There is good money to be made, but not through that avenue. |
Topic | Westerners describe culture shocks in Japan |
Glob 11/17/23 7:37:22 PM #11 | mercurydude posted... I don't get the people who thought a lot of people there would be speaking English. Why? Most people there aren't going to be traveling to English-speaking countries regularly. In fairness, if you go to major cities in most of Asia, theres a lot of English speaking people. |

Glob 11/17/23 5:32:29 AM #19 | SaikyoStyle posted... I know a guy who went to Asia to teach English. He worked in Japan, South Korea, and Thailand and said he liked Thailand the most. My understanding from many people whove done the Asian teaching English circuit is that the best place to go is Vietnam, with Thailand being a close second. |

Glob 11/16/23 11:26:57 PM #52 | ForsakenHermit posted... The funny thing about soccer is watching British people get triggered by their own damn word. I dont care about football or soccer as a sport. Its just infuriating to see either side insist that their word to refer to men kicking a ball round a field is the only possible correct answer. |

I'm sorry that's the case man but you definitely were still a child just sounds like you were a child that had to take on adult responsibilities and that's not fair to you, hope everything is going well for you now I mean, its semantics at that point, isnt it? But yeah, things are very good for me now. I had some very rough years but I cant complain about the life I live today. |

Glob 11/15/23 4:52:02 AM #12 | Ricemills posted... I hate this kind of answer. Thats not what I said. You implied you couldnt do it because of a lack of money. I dont think thats the only thing holding you back, because its not necessarily something that costs a lot of money. I just used myself as an example to illustrate that. |

I have no problems with using ear buds that go into the canal with the largest foam tip (of course that's the size I need). Ive tried loads. Anything with a foam tip is out within seconds. Ive got a pair of AirPods that are slightly better but still a massive liability. |

Glob 11/14/23 11:03:46 PM #127 | FortuneCookie posted... It's not about getting the last word. It's that teens are objectively more developed that children. If you want to talk about sexual matters, it's fair to say that they're all minors and leave it at that. In terms of everything else, a 17-year-old is going to handle complex issues, violent content, difficult choices, the responsibility of driving, choices over whether to adhere to social structures or rebel against them, and everything else with closer proximity to an adult than, say, an 8-year-old or a 12-year-old. Nobody is disputing that people mature as they go. Theyre just stating that in most capacities a 16 year old is seen as a child, and theyre absolutely right. It was a very frustrating truth for me, when I was 16, as I was working full time and living alone and financially independent, but in many ways seen as a child. But frustrating or not, its still the truth. |
